TBH JTB, you should be buried beneath Morrison's car park. Which Morrison's car park are we talking about?
    Ah crap, that made me laugh so much and I can't rep you for it either.

      In Devizes there is an interesting plaque.

      It marks the spot in the market where an unscrupulous old crone was spontaneously struck down dead after issuing the words “may the Lord strike me down if I tell a lie” to an unhappy punter who felt he’d been shortchanged.
      Did she reverse her car into it?

        The carpark in question was unharmed despite being taken over by the EuroCarParks Parking Nazis.

        HTH.

            Ah, that's not the Morrison's car park I was thinking of. As you were.

              Apparently it was the Safeway carpark at the time, in 2004.

              Though that's according to Wales on line which has just informed me of armed officers in St. Helen's Road after an assault in an ongoing incident.

              Said incident happened in April 2019.

                That's what happens when you live in a rift in the space-time continuum!

                    Oh, I'll never get a scrumpy here
                    No, I'll never get a nice mild beer
                    Give me England every time, my dear

                    However hard I bloomin' try
                    Seems I'll never get a hot meat pie

                    When I die.....


                    I don't know if those lyrics are from the pen of the late, great Adge Cutler or are the work of a later incarnation pf the band, AKA 2 jocks and a brummie. I suspect the latter because they don't seem to know that Devizes is in Wiltshire :
